It's us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!
This morning was one of those 'Early Starts', you know, pitch black outside and all of a muddle inside!
We had to get up early to take The Missus to her 'Master Class' in Burnley. When we got there the place was shut and in darkness, so we had to sit in the car and wait. Funny thing was, the owners were in early as well but were at the back of the building!
As soon as they noticed their 'Star' in the car park they turned on all the lights and got the red carpet out to welcome her!
Old Two Legs Holly and I thought it was a bit over the top and couldn't wait to get out of there!
We had decided that today we would visit The Forest of Bowland, also known as the Bowland Fells,
It is supposed to be the darkest place in the UK 'cos there is very little light pollution from street lights and towns and factories.
Just loads of trees!
We were expecting to get a run off the lead and spent some time looking for 'Foot Paths' and access to the hills. No such luck!
Wot we found were signs saying 'Welcome to the Hills' then a few yards down the road was another sign saying it was private land and woofers not welcome!
This happened three times before we found somewhere where we could have a run, on the lead. OTL decided to keep us on the lead 'cos there was a road running next to the walking area and there were too many fast cars running up and down the dale!
Even so, it wasn't a bad walk and OTL got his fancy lens out and was playing silly wottit's with 'Depth of Field' which all sounds terribly boring!
We tried to help him out but I don't think he was listening!
 |
| Hey! There's a Deep Field over there! |
The trees were well on the way to getting their Autumn colours but I think we may have got there a couple of week too early!
Still, OTL tried his best and we had a good sniff around while he was clicking away!
 |
| Still not enough colour! |
 |
| Now this ones better, it leads the eye from left to right and back again to the tree trunk! |
So, just for you left pawed among us, here is one going from right to left!
 |
| A Left Pawed Picture! |
Unless you are ambidextrous and if so, this one should be OK!
 |
| Straight up the middle! |
I don't like the idea of all those early mornings, even if you do get a snooze in the afternoon!
Never mind Archie Babe you could always take over the whole bed!
Right, it is half eight and still no sign of Izzy and Co, OTL is half way down a bottle of fine Malt Whisky and TM has been snoring her head off while Holly and I have been exchanging woofs with a woofer in the caravan next to us!
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!
Morning little maties up in the norf waiting for your maties. Sounds like you had a good day once you got away from the red carpet. I bet Mrs TM appreciated it though, she is somewot of a star with the glue flingers. Lovely pictures, oooohhh I could lift my leg on them trees. Wot a shame they don't let woofers have a good old wander on their footpaths up there. I'm up early cos my mum is off to work in a minute so I'm on guard duty. When she comes home I've got a visit to my favourite nurse to get my butt checked, then we'll be having another snooze. I'm not too keen on getting up this early. Have a lovely day and I hope this morning Mrs TM doesn't have to be kept waiting. Hope you enjoy your day with Izzy, Hamish and Bella. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI did look but no Daisy and when you did manage to get to the keys it was too late for Archie's mum so I waited until this morning as well. Lovely pictures, that deep field looks very deep, be careful. Looks like we are having a Master Class in Photography, looks lovely, shame you couldn't wander freely like a bird but the colours are doing very nicely. The sun is so warm here that the car next to us was all steaming from its roof and we had steam up the side of the van which looked like when the boiler comes on at home and you can see it out of the window. Red carpet treatment, oh dear, it will go to her head, I don't think things will ever be the same again! Never mind she is worth it. Hope Archie's mum had a good morning, this getting up in the dark is something else and not finished yet, an extra xx for Archie and his mum. xxxxx. Oh better xx for TM and OTL
